Rock Church, Stone religious building in Auburn, Wyoming

The Rock Church in Auburn, Wyoming is a building constructed from roughly cut stone with a steeply gabled roof located at the corner of Second W and First S Streets. The structure measures approximately 30 by 15 feet and displays the sturdy construction style of early frontier builders.

The Rock Church was built in 1889 of rough-cut stone, a material rarely used in early Star Valley architecture. Construction began in summer, was hand-worked, and finished during winter at a cost of $2,980. The community was considered the wealthiest in the valley for some years afterward. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

The building is also known as the Latter Day Saints Auburn Ward Meeting House, and an arch over the entrance reads "Auburn Ward." It served as a community center as well as a church, and the Star Valley Historical Society planned restoration after its 1985 nomination.

The Rock Church stands in Auburn's public square at the corner of Second W and First S Streets, not on the town's edge. The building is about 30 by 15 feet, so its stone walls and steep gable are visible from the street; there is no formal visitor entrance.

When listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, this structure was the only building from the town's founding era still actively used by the community. Its significance rests on being a living link to the early days of Star Valley.
